USPS career conferences reached record attendance last year, and the Postal Service is hoping to continue that success in 2026, as Link reported last week.
“We are excited to build on that momentum and aim for even higher participation and engagement this year,” said Jenny Utterback, USPS organization development vice president. The 2026 conferences run from April through August.
We also spotlighted Postmaster General David Steiner’s testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform about the organization’s finances. His complete written remarks can be found on the USPS Newsroom website.
Link ran reminders on the organization’s commitment to safe workplaces, the ethics rules surrounding supplemental employment, and the importance of backing up digital data.
In philatelic news, we spotlighted the dedication ceremony for the new Lowriders stamps in San Diego and shared a link for the latest “Mailin’ It!” podcast, which discusses why the 2026 stamp lineup is exceptional.
We examined the origins of Women’s History Month, explored U.S. cities with St. Patrick’s Day-themed postmarks, and highlighted the spring wellness challenge.
And the “People” column shared a little Hollywood-related postal history: It turns out that Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall, who passed away last month, worked for the organization during his salad days in New York City.
Finally, “Heroes” told the story of Kristy Miller, a retail associate in Patrick Springs, VA, who suspected one of her customers was being scammed. She shared her hunch with the police and Postal Inspection Service and ended up saving the man $10,000.
